• ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Defined Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1) provides clear handling specifications
• Polypropylene material specification offers explicit material documentation

Functional Equivalence: The 5206390-1 maintains complete functional and mechanical compatibility with the 206390-1 across all critical parameters including position count, shell size compatibility, cable exit angles, shielding characteristics, and hardware configuration.

For new designs and ongoing applications, the 5206390-1 is the appropriate selection due to its active status and regulatory compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 206390-1 and 5206390-1 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 25 position hinged backshells with identical shell size B compatibility, cable exit angles of 45° and 180°, and equivalent hardware configurations. They are mechanically and functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the 206390-1?

A: The 206390-1 carries an obsolete product status. The 5206390-1 is the active equivalent part, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support.

Q: Does the material difference between thermoplastic and polypropylene affect compatibility?

A: Both materials are plastic-based and serve the same functional purpose in this backshell application. The polypropylene specification in the 5206390-1 provides explicit material documentation. Mechanical and electrical performance remain equivalent.

Q: Are there any regulatory compliance differences?

A: The 5206390-1 is ROHS3 compliant with a defined Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1). The 206390-1 lists RoHS status as not applicable. For applications requiring regulatory compliance documentation, the 5206390-1 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Does packaging format affect the connector's performance?

A: No. The 5206390-1 is supplied in bag packaging while the 206390-1 packaging is not specified. Packaging format does not affect the connector's electrical or mechanical performance, only handling and storage procedures.

Q: Can the 5206390-1 be used in existing designs specified for the 206390-1?

A: Yes. The 5206390-1 maintains complete compatibility with all D-Sub connectors and assemblies specified for the 206390-1, including 25 position and HD44 position D-Sub connectors.
